In Greenville, South Carolina, a social studies teacher named Wynne Boliek posted a Facebook comment after Charlie Kirk’s assassination that shocked the community and the nation. His words: “Thoughts and prayers to his children but IMHO America became greater today. There I said it.” This wasn’t just poor judgment. It was a celebration of political violence, written by someone entrusted to teach children.
The District Acts Swiftly
For once, the system worked. The Greenville County School District moved quickly—placing Boliek on leave, confirming the post was his, and then announcing he was no longer employed. District leaders condemned the remarks and made it clear that this behavior has no place in their classrooms. Board members even said they would push to revoke his teaching certificate in South Carolina. That kind of accountability is rare in today’s climate, but it’s exactly what was needed.
Lawmakers Sound the Alarm
The reaction from leaders was just as forceful. Representative Nancy Mace, Representative William Timmons, and Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette all demanded his immediate removal. Timmons called the message “vile, hateful, and dangerous.” Ralph Norman said it was “disgusting.” Their bipartisan outrage underscored a reality: if political violence becomes normalized—even in the classroom—our republic itself is in danger.
Hypocrisy of the Tolerant Left
This is where the hypocrisy shines brightest. The Left claims to be the party of tolerance and inclusion. But here we have a teacher cheering the death of a conservative leader. Imagine if the roles were reversed—a conservative teacher praising the death of a progressive activist. CNN would run wall-to-wall coverage, and Democrats would demand congressional hearings. The silence from the usual defenders of “civility” says everything.
Political Violence Is Never Okay
Charlie Kirk was a 31-year-old father, husband, and leader. He co-founded Turning Point USA and worked tirelessly to mobilize young conservatives. No disagreement with his politics could ever justify celebrating his murder. When a teacher—someone who shapes young minds—signals that violence against conservatives is acceptable, it plants the seed that free debate can be replaced with bullets. That’s not education; that’s indoctrination by intimidation.
A Symptom of Education’s Deeper Problem
This incident is not isolated. It’s a window into the broader sickness of our education system. Too many classrooms have turned into political battlegrounds where radical activism overshadows reading, writing, and math. Students are not being taught how to think, but rather what to think. A teacher openly celebrating the assassination of a conservative leader is the inevitable result of decades of ideological capture in schools.
A Sign of Things Turning?
But here’s the hopeful side: Greenville’s swift action shows the tide may be shifting. For once, accountability came fast and without excuses. The district refused to tolerate hate disguised as free speech when it came from one of their own. That matters, because schools must reflect professionalism and respect, not radicalism. It’s a small but meaningful pushback against the rot in education.
Charlie Kirk’s Voice Only Gets Louder
In the end, Wynne Boliek’s cruel post may have backfired. By exposing the ugliness that lurks inside too many classrooms, it only amplifies what Charlie Kirk fought for: protecting young people from indoctrination and giving them the courage to stand up for conservative values. The tragedy of his death is profound, but so too is the truth it reveals. His voice may now echo even louder because of those who tried to silence him.
Final Thoughts
The Greenville teacher who gloated about Charlie Kirk’s murder is no longer employed—and that is the right outcome. Political violence has no place in America, and it must never be normalized, especially by those trusted to educate our children. The district’s response was a step in the right direction, and perhaps a signal that more people are waking up to the dangers of radical indoctrination.
Charlie Kirk’s life was cut short, but his mission—to challenge the Left’s grip on culture and education—lives on. And in moments like this, when the mask slips, his message shines even brighter.
